Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

This makes me think of Nimis, a large sculpture in southen Sweden. It and some other nearby artworka was illegally created in Kullabergs Nature reserve by Lars Vilks and declared as a independent state by there creator.

If you ever go to Sweden I recommend going there and seeing it, it's a really cool piece of art. Here are some images of it (from Wikipedia)

That’s super cool! I’ll try and check it out if I’m ever in the area.

For some reason this looks like a person but only when shrunk down to thumbnail size.

I thought the same. Pretty cool.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

OK, this really speaks to me!

I love your art, thanks for showing it.

Amazing work, I'm thoroughly impressed by the precision of your strokes and love how it feels both organic and rigidly structured at the same time!

Thanks!

I think one factor is I generally don’t use a ruler/straightedge — just freehand it. So every line has varying degrees of imperfection.

Oh wow, you freehanding it makes it all the more impressive. Definitely adds to the organic feel!
